DART GRIT me, rye PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Oct. 18, 1994 - 1 5 RoorTs 'I'he big day of Oct. 14, last day of nominations, has come and gone and I can't wait to look at the list of contenders. This is the one government which is close to the people of our given area so it is impor- tant we elect the right person who will listen, judge and put forth the best ideas for our township and for our ward. There are times when a person can be over-dominated by the thoughts and wishes of a group and the person makes a mis- take by putting forth their pro- posal. This may happen only once in the person's three years in office so I ask you to be sure to weigh their total per- formance before casting your ballot. I am very thankful to the five individuals of Scugog Point, Nestleton and Caesarea who independently asked me to put my hat in the ring for Ward 4. Thank you for the high respect you have of me. Don't forget Bingo this Sat- urday night Oct. 22 at Caesar- ea Hall 7:30 p.m. Bring out your friends and neighbors. I attended a lecture in To- ronto this week and the guest speaker was Gordon Page. He predicts 1995 will be a good year for Canada. A good year for the stock market especially in the equity market. Interest rates will go down but never buy any real long-term 20-year bonds, unless the interest rates are extremely high and is with a grade A corporation or government. He stated Cana- da Savings Bonds this term are a good investment. He says avoid mortgage bond funds and bank savings accounts. The weather is gorgeous this week in Caesarea with the lake like a sheet of glass most of the time. Temperature is just right to get out and termi- nate the garden for the year. Oh, if it could only stay like this until May. Bingo this Saturday night I had a very sad telephone call this week from John Phil- lips informing me of his moth- er Audrey passing on in her 91st year. If you were to ask Audrey how she was she might have said the chassis not so good but the motor runs excel- lent. This is true, her physical condition was weak but her mind and wit was sharp and her heart was as good as gold to the very end. We all express our sincere condolences to daughter Ruth and husband Brian, Don and wife Dianne and John and wife Theresa and their immediate families. A real dear friend for some 20 or 25 years. Saying of the week: Take away love and our earth is a tomb. Joke of the week: A family in California had been experienc- ing earthquake tremors. Fear- ful for the safety of their young child, they sent a telegram to the boy's uncle: "Imminent earthquake. We're sending your nephew." After a week with the unruly six-year-old, the uncle wired: "Am return- ing your son. Send the earth- quake." Noreen Calderbank was just one of many exhibitors at the Spinners and Weavers show and sale held at the Masonic Hall over the weekend. Roast beef dinner Oct. 30 Halloween party On Wednesday evening, the UCW met in the church hall for their monthly meeting with 16 ladies answering the roll call. A short devotion was taken by Ei- leen Hodgins and Bev Stanley. Hymn - "Bringing in the Sheaves" was sung. Scripture taken from Luke 10. Poem - Happy Harvest Time. Guest speaker Irv Gibson, fire prevention officer, was in- troduced. Mr. Gibson talked some about our local fire depart- ment as to their training and the jobs they do. Just as he had been showing and telling us about the special beeper they all carry 24 hours a day, it went off. This was a call and he was off to an emergency. This is the life our firemen live every day, nev- er knowing when they may be called out to save someone's home or help save a life. Thanks very much, Mr. Gibson, for your most interesting talk. If anyone would like to help support your local fire department and also protect yourself, they expect to be selling smoke detectors starting some time in Novem- ber.
